An extraordinary footage shows the moment surgeons celebrate the result of a tense penalty shootout – in the middle of an operation. Wearing gowns and masks, the surgical team have Wednesday’s Chile v Portugal match on a big screen in a Chilean operating theatre as a patient goes under the knife.

Portugal’s João Moutinho can be seen readying himself to take the penalty during the Confederations Cup yesterday.

But as Chile’s goalkeeper Claudio Bravo makes his second of three saves, the camera pans over to the cheering medics.

The surgeons’ joy at their team’s success could be short lived however, as there are calls for an investigation after the footage was shared on social media.

Authorities in the South American country have slammed the surgeons “irresponsible” and “without ethics”.

Karla Rubilar, a member of the Chile government’s Health Commission, said: “This is a serious situation.

“There are protocols that should be followed for the security and respect of all patients in all hospitals and health clinics. In this case, all of them were broken.”
